thanks for the impotaint post. the MAN wants you to be a drunk slave. and if you refuse he will try to put you a cage. in a cage you will not be missed because the MAN has many sweatshop workers to make up for your time out.

i all ways thought normal was about just pot heads. it nice to see they are looking at the big picture, i read in a comic once a kid saying "I hop the war on terror is better then the war on drugs.

Good stuff. If he or anyone else in law enforcement wants to work with others they should check out LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. http://www.leap.cc/

I grew up on the other side of the issues myself, not drugs but just a stubborn kid, and he's right. The harder they came down on me the worse I got. You don't make people better by locking them up, you make them worse. There's no need for a non-violent offender.

trouble is, most people don't vote based on facts and issues, so this aint gonna change for a long time, but it's good that the pressure is being kept up in many ways by many people (not just dudes ranting in berets)

Anyone interested in these themes would probably like HBO's show The Wire. Kickass show created by a former Baltimore cop/teacher and newspaper writer.

Seeing this just makes me madder and more depressed.

There is no justice in America.

Just money vs. bigger money, and the bigger money always wins.

The whole system is essentially a lie, and has been for decades.
